Polling begins in Chenab valley for phase 1 of assembly elections in JK
JAMMU, Sep18 (PTI): Voting commenced Wednesday in Jammu and Kashmir’s Chenab valley, having over 7.14 lakh eligible voters, to decide the fate of 64 candidates in the first phase of the assembly elections being held after a decade.
Polling started at 7 am at all 1,328 polling stations set up across eight assembly seats of Chenab valley districts of Doda, Kishtwar, and Ramban amid heavy security, as the region has witnessed a spurt in terror activities over the past three months, leaving six army personnel and four terrorists dead.
Besides Chenab valley, the first phase of assembly elections also covered four districts of south Kashmir’s Anantnag, Pulwama, Kulgam, and Shopian, which have 16 assembly constituencies.
